EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "Akasaka: Fujikawa (numbered 37); 'Fujikawa (numbered 38)' (image 3 of 4)" by the renowned Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai, dates back to the early 19th century, specifically around 1802. The print is part of Hokusai's famous series, "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido." The scene depicts a solitary man, identified as Tatsumasa, standing atop a hill overlooking the Tokaido Road in Akasaka. In the foreground, a disobedient horse and its rider, Fujikawa, have fallen from their carriage following a difficult incident on the thoroughfare. The horse, with its ears pinned back, appears startled, while the man seems to be assessing the damage to his package. The print showcases the intricate details of Hokusai's masterful brushwork and color palette. The vibrant autumnal hues of the leaves and the contrasting tones of the man's clothing and the horse's coat add depth and texture to the image. The print also highlights the importance of the Tokaido Road during the Edo and Tokugawa periods, serving as a significant trade route and a crucial part of Japanese heritage. This work of art, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), invites viewers to ponder the challenges and unexpected incidents that could occur during travel, and the determination of the travelers to continue their journey despite the setbacks. The print is a testament to Hokusai's ability to capture the essence of everyday life and the human condition in his art.
